As for the legacy of her mother, Diana Ross, the actress told reporters in the press room: “It feels like [performing] was something I was raised to do. I never felt like I was in my mother’s shadow – I’ve actually always felt I was in my mother’s embrace. Part of the way she raised me and all five of her kids is really to follow my heart and my dreams and do the hard work to get there.”

She continued, “I feel like it’s sweet charming and wonderful to have a different experience and yet have so much that was the same as my mom. She’s been here. I’ve never been to the Globes so I had to ask her what to expect.”

Before that, she closed her speech on stage by saying, “It’s nice at 44. I like it here. This is great. Thank you!”
